...audience assembled in Sanders last evening was much larger than the average, but was no more than the merits of the concert demanded. The singing of the Glee Club was the best which has been heard for several years. Naturally the greatest success was scored in the college songs, which were sung with a good degree of vigor and "snap." "Piper Heidsieck" and the concluding "Medley" were particularly acceptable for their novelty. The glees were sung in unusually good tune, although in regard to expression they might be considered somewhat spasmodic. The "African March" was a very striking number...
...least considered, but most likely of all the results of dormitory life is the danger from fire. We have just heard that a small fire, resulting in the destruction of a lambrequin, occurred in one of the college rooms and was with great difficulty prevented from doing more serious damage.

The number of members, which last year was thirty-one, has increased to forty-three, and all who have heard them play say that the performance is better than it has ever been before. All the instruments necessary for the production of a symphony concert are represented, and we may hope that at no distant time the sodality will attempt to rival the symphony concerts which are now so popular with the students. At present, however...
